Almost 1.6 Billion people can’t afford the £2.22-a-day ‘planetary health diet’ that cuts red meat allowance to just a quarter of a rasher of bacon (Daily Mail)

November 09, 2019


Daily Mail (UK) reported on Affordability of the Eat-Lancet Reference Diet: A Global Analysis, a new research study by IFPRI researchers and Kalle Hiroven and Derek Headey and others. The US$2.84 (£2.22) per person per day is the predicted cost of the diet. However, that cost would be too much for almost a quarter of the world’s population, researchers have warned. Republished India Times, News-W (Russia), Express Digest (USA).
The research was also reported on in India’s Business Standard and Outlook India, PPT News (China), The Financial Express in Bangladesh, as well as several other news publications in India, Egypt, Europe, and Russia.
